The Malmö Opera Chorus and Orchestra led by John Jeter, a noted champion of the music of Florence Price, present world premiere recordings of Price’s largest choral work, Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight, and of the spiritual-inspired Song of Hope, set to the composer’s own text. A series of shorter choral works with piano accompaniment complement the two pieces with orchestra including the world premiere of The Witch of the Meadow, six songs celebrating the natural world, and two sacred compositions. The final song on the album, Resignation, is sung a cappella.
